The room was breathtaking, the restaurant was unforgettable but most of all the staff were so helpful and went above and beyond for us. Our flight got cancelled and we were put on a bus instead, we received calls from the hotel along the way to check how we were going so a driver could meet us as soon as we got to the airport. One of our bags go lost and the hotel staff once again came to the rescue calling to help sort it out before we had to leave. Can’t thank them enough. A very memorable stay.
